This is a totally new thing for me - Building banjos. one of my customers sent me an email which said, "Wanna build a banjo?" My response was, "Sure - let me look into what it'll take to do it!" The rim for the customer's banjo was made by Mark Hickler of Hickler Banjos:  The rim is made from curly maple. The next two pictures are of the two banjos after the necks were rough-cut and mounted to their rims:  I made the rim for the prototype banjo the shop. To see more details on the construction process, take a look at the Prototype banjo construction page and the Customer banjo construction page:
